The Treaty of Waitangi Companion by Vincent O’Malley and Bruce Stirling (Wellington: Bridget Williams Books, 2026) is a fully updated new edition of a work first published in 2010. Weaving together voices, documents and hundreds of full colour images from centuries of cooperation, conflict and change, the book ranges from first contact between Māori and Europeans to today’s debates over the place of te Tiriti o Waitangi in our constitutional arrangements. It sets out these stories through the voices of the historical actors, bringing these debates alive for readers.
